A month before the new House of Blues opened on Lansdowne Street last year, concert impresario Don Law made a lofty prediction. As president of the New England division of Live Nation, which owns the House of Blues chain, Law said the venue could book as many as 300 shows its inaugural year, making it far busier than the space’s previous clubs, Avalon and Axis.

He came close - it hosted nearly 250 shows - but he did not foresee the latest news: Boston’s House of Blues sold more tickets last year than any other club in the world.

According to Pollstar, the concert industry’s trade publication, the House of Blues sold 314,597 tickets in 2009, restoring luster to the city’s diminished nightlife scene since Avalon and Axis closed in 2007 and outdrawing well-established venues in New York (Hammerstein Ballroom), San Francisco (the Fillmore), and Washington, D.C. (9:30 Club).
